the card for:

MICHAEL WILLIAMS – ‘Cancuned and Other Paintings from 2007’
OCTOBER 11 – NOVEMBER 18, 2007 – last WEEK !!!
CANADA – 55 CHRYSTIE ST – LOWER EAST SIDE – NYC

the show got a really upbeat mention in this week’s (NOV. 12, 2007) NEW YORKER,
DOWNTOWN SECTION:

“MICHAEL WILLIAMS
Imagine the Post-Impressionists transplanted to the future, and high on hallucinogens. Williams uses Pointillism, acid-electric colors, distorted perspectives, and visionary subject matter. In lieu of portraits of Breton peasant women or views of the artist’s bedroom, Williams offers a tiny bearded face emerging from a stick of deodorant, and an anthropomorphic Heineken bottle writhing on a tropical deck. There’s another crucial distinction between Williams and the Post-Impressionists: there’s little anxiety here. The world, shown through his paintbrush, is just happily and wildly weird. Through Nov. 18. (Canada, 55 Chrystie St. 212-925-4631)”
